Col John Birch
fought for Parliament in the First Civil War. He proved
to be a courageous and energetic officer, taking part in
a number of battles and sieges. He was wounded at least
twice, on one occasion being shot in the stomach. He did
not fight in the second Civil War and was excluded from
parliament by Pride's Purge, which sought to remove all
those who wished to continue negotiations with King
Charles, even though he had proved to be duplicitous and
stubborn. Although a Presbyterian by upbringing he voted
for the Tests Acts which required holders of public
office to be members of the Church of England. He backed
the Glorious Revolution in 165 against the Catholic
James II. |
